War in Ukraine

Rasputin is probably too young to have been around then, but I'll bet he would have been one of the guys accusing the US of using KAL-007 as a spy plane before the Ruskies shot it down over Sakhalin Island.

No, it is not a reach. The weapons and assistance that we have flooded them with has prolonged this conflict and only emboldened them. They are still delsional enough to believe that The West is going to jump in and save them. At some point, it will be too late for them to realize that they were being used and should have sued for peace back in March... or just had abided by the original Minsk ceasefire agreements.


It was as just as the Donbas asking for Russian help after a democratically president was overthrown in 2014 and they were attacked for 8 years because they no longer wanted to be apart of the corrupt Kyiv regime.

I absolutely agree Ras. The woke west can't even supply basic needs for food, power and safety for their own people anymore, much less help Ukraine militarily. We are woke enough to have ruined the ability to be a world power anymore.

I live in TN with nuclear power and plenty of coal and NG powered plants. Many places run by the democrats can't keep their lights on in the US and the liberals in Europe are going hungry and will get cold this winter. Mark my words. Watch woke California scramble for power and water in the next few years as it's cities become cess pools.

No, but many around the country are as homelessness grows even in Middle TN.

The electric companies notified us of an energy cost increase two months ago.

As for homelessness, you are of the opinion that is supporting Ukraine with weapons has any bearing on that issue?

Yes, energy, that thing that started increasing in cost with the Biden inauguration.

Yes, many places have poor leadership.

Us assisting Ukraine is irrelevant to any of that.

My local utility just published rates for next month and they are up 25% from the last published rates. We need more Biden policies to use more electricity so they can goo up even further.

No, it's a worthless exercise in futility, just like all the other wars we've fought since Korea. It's going to be another endless war funded by our government, except they are using Ukrainian people to die instead of our soldiers. Our government will never ever stop fighting wars.

Yea, if not for this event, our war machine would have been filing bankruptcy next year.

Does giving weapons to Ukraine directly contribute to homelessness here - no, but indirectly having no answers for the economic issues domestically does.

I hope with the amount of money we are throwing at Ukraine that we are canceling or reducing programs domestically otherwise the dollar is screwed. We are just printing money.

Good luck. This deficit spending is here to stay. Will only get bigger. It’s the intended, impending plunge into chaos when it all crashes “they” will use to completely reshape the country.

Just stop. After 1994, Clinton had no choice because of the congressional midterms. Had Clinton had his way, he would have engaged in a bunch of budget busting social spending.

I’ll give Clinton credit that he read those tea leaves perfectly, got to the middle, cut a deal and sailed into a second term. He didn’t just say “I have a pen and a phone”. Obama should have opened Clinton’s playbook just once, but the Dem party was already lurching too far left in the early/mid 2010s by that time.

We also enjoy abundant hydroelectric power in this area. Sadly, the only scrambling woke Californians are doing is scrambling to Texas, Tennessee and other Southeastern states, bringing their s**tty policy ideas with them.

25 percent of all new Tennessee residents are from California. I really hope that most of these people fled from their broken state because they saw the folly of leftist policies and won't come here and vote for democrats so that they can see our state ruined as well with high taxes, crime, and wokeness.
